Groupo Potencial to build two biofuel pipelines in Brazil

In the UK, Oils & Fats International reported that Brazil’s privately owned Grupo Potencial will be investing $37 million in building two biofuel pipelines in the south of the country.

Scheduled for construction next year and subject to regulatory approval, the 55km pipelines would be the longest of their type in the South American country, according to the report.

One of the new pipelines would transport biodiesel and the other biofuels like ethanol, connecting the company’s Lapa biodiesel plant to fuel distributors, the report added.

The Lapa plant plans to transport half of this volume via one of the new pipelines, according to the report.
